    Note: Individual form definitions and sets cannot be included in the same batch definition.

  3. Specify the Batch size in the Batch data box. (See examples.)

  4. Optional: Specify a batch prefix,

  5. Optional: Specify an alternative batch start number.

  6. Optional: Select Print batch report.

  7. Click OK to save the batch definition. You cannot do this unless Batch size is 1 or more.
